Price Strikes Out 13 in Rays' 5-2 Win at Boston

BOSTON (AP) -- David Price struck out a season-high 13 and Jeff Keppinger hit a three-run homer as Tampa Bay beat the Boston Red Sox 5-2 on Tuesday night, extending the Rays' winning streak to six and keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Tampa Bay entered the day three games behind Oakland for the AL's second wild-card spot and has only eight games remaining, making a loss to the struggling Red Sox in the two-game series especially costly.

The Rays got to Boston starter Clay Buchholz (11-7) quickly on Keppinger's three-run homer in the second and Price (19-5) was able to preserve the lead despite balking with a runner on third to pull Boston within 3-2.

Price pitched his second complete game of the season, scattering seven hits and walking none. He tied his career high with his 19th win.
